Nicola Lacey's book presents a feminist critique of law based on an
analysis of the ways in which the very structure or method of
modern law is gendered. All of the essays in the book therefore
engage at some level with the question of whether there are things
of a general nature to be said about what might be called the sex
or gender of law. Ranging across fields including criminal
law,public law and anti-discrimination law, the essays examine the
conceptual framework of modern legal practices: the legal
conception of the subject as an individual; the concepts of
equality, freedom, justice and rights; and the legal construction
of public and private realms and of the relations between
individual, state and community. They also reflect upon the
deployment of law as a means of furthering feminist ethical and
political values. At a more general level, the essays contemplate
the relationship between feminist and other critical approaches to
legal theory; the relationship between the ideas underlying
feminist legal theory and those informing contemporary developments
in social and political theory; and the nature of the relationship
between feminist legal theories and feminist legal politics. The
essays in this book tell the story of an intellectual journey which
has led the author to question some of the central assumptions of
traditional legal education and scholarship. They also set out a
distinctive vision of jurisprudence as a form of critical social
theory.
